You know how people say you aren't supposed to go grocery shopping hungry? They should also say don't go grocery shopping immediately after working out.
You see, last night after Zumba and BodyPump I stopped at Monoprix to pick up something for dinner and some cereal. My land lady was nice enough to buy me some milk and I kept forgetting to buy something to put it on. Well I walked in to the store for these two items and walked out with them plus cookies, and chips, and soda. My gluttonous shopping habits aren't the lesson here, however. The lesson is this...
Generic is generic, but foreign generic of an originally American product is worse. When I found myself on the cereal aisle last night I saw my favorite: Special K Red Berries. I would be damned, however, if you thought I would spend $6.50 on a box of it. Then, lucky me, I saw the Monoprix version. I was stoked. That was, until this morning when I got to eat cardboard. On the plus side, my knock off Pringles were tolerable.
Today I also found myself coming down with a cold and not feeling that great. I came home after work and decided I would attempt to get take out for dinner. Take out options are limited so I went for something easy and basic...pizza. There is a little Italian restaurant conveniently located around my corner and the words Take Away are printed on their window. I went in, ordered my pizza and French and waited until it was ready. After playing in my iPod for a few minutes my pizza was done and I ventured home. Of course I got distracted with e-mails and what not and neglected my pizza for a while. Once I could not ignore my hunger any longer I opened the box to reach for a slice. Guess what....they hadn't cut my pizza. hahahahah. It gave me a good giggle, and I hope it gave you one too.
I now have a stomach ache to accompany my cold. What did you expect thought? They just have me one really big piece! ;)
Bisous!
